Ep 11: Declan Ganley

We are back in London, in fact back the Mount Bonnell team are back in the offices at Baker Street.

And as in the best Sherlock Holmes stories a knock comes to the door and soon after we have a visitor, and an adventure, if in our case only in sound.

We are back in London and back in the Mt. Bonnell Baker Street offices, and in true Sherlock Holmes fashion, there’s a knock at the door…

It’s Declan Ganley, a successful businessman and enterprising entrepreneur who runs his business in both Europe and America.

He came to talk to us about making it big on the other side of the pond and how his childhood experiences have helped him to become successful.

He talks us through some of the difficulties that come with moving a business to America, and how to overcome them, and also shares some other tips that he’s learned over the years about how to make the move successfully.

“Americans still have an appetite for risk like no one else. And that’s what you need to get your foot in the door.”
